Friday Fair.
I went to the hospital and set with Aunt Rose. Uncle Millard took me.
Footnote: Aunt Rose is her mother's half-sister and Uncle Millard Baker is her mother's half-brother. Rose and Millard are full sister and brother. They were all Baker's as they have the same father - Ira Baker. Lula Baker's mother - Rosanna Huff- died of flux when Lula (Estelle's mother) was just 4 years old. Ira Baker married Julia Ann Wells and they had 7 children. This is after he has already fathered 7 children by his first wife. How in the world did they get by. Three of the children he had with his first wife also died of flux at the same time as their mother died. Now he is left with 4 children so he found him another wife who happened to be the same age as the wife he just lost. That woman took on him and those 4 children and then she had 7 more. She lived to be 80 years old. Proof that hard work never killed a good woman - she just got old.
